I don't really have anything much to add to the conversation here, but I think Outer Wilds deserves its critical acclaim. The fact is that knowledge is really your only resource in this game, and both gaining and applying it are incredibly satisfying to unveil the mysteries behind it all. Everything feels like it's hidden in plain sight, which makes it incredibly satisfying to discover things. The in-game ship log which tracks what you have found strikes a good balance of recording enough to keep your memory fresh and not every last detail so as to overwhelm you and render personal discovery less meaningful.
